Seems the same to me. You'd think they would have put some sort of overlay over the image to indicate that it was loading or something.

I'm guessing Firefox 24 has been working great for people here who have been using it? After I downloaded the update, I kept getting lots of crashes, so I had to switch browsers. I don't have the faintest idea as to why I kept getting crashes. I have used Firefox 23, and previous vesions as well, and I only experienced a few crashes here and there, but with Firefox 24 I just kept on getting crashes left and right. Within 5 minutes of installing Firefox 24 I got my first crash, which was strange to me. I thought it was just my laptop giving me problems, but the desktop computer we have did the same thing when I upgraded it to Firefox 24 as well. I uninstalled the browser completely on both computers, reinstalled fresh versions, and the crashes were still happening. I scanned both computers, both seem to be fine, and Chrome works like it should too. I only had 3 add-ons on Firefox, two of which were installed by my internet security software, and another add-on that a lot of people use. Flash was also updated to its latest version. I'm going to give Firefox another chance with the future 25 release, but as of now I'm staying away from it. Does anyone here know what causes crashes in Firefox?
My best guess is the two add-ons installed by your security software. Shit like that never plays well with other programs.

Anyone else have a problem with avatars not loading on FF?
Nope.

Well if they somehow not load on FF but do on other browsers, it's something to do with your extensions or settings.
What do you guys run? I'm on Aurora(26) and running at least 25 addons and everything works.

I only have like 8 addons but I posted a few weeks ago in this thread I updated to 23 and it just fucked up windows... I think it was mostly from a virus but it only started once 23 was installed... after reinstalling win 7 and a running a bunch of virus softwares like hitman 64 bit and malwarebytes.. it works great now... but 23 made Firefox run like shit, that and my whole computer was insanely slow.... but thankfully it works great now... I still cant install SP1 though... I've tried for like 2 years ever since it was released but the few dozen times I tried it would just go to 99% installed and then fuck up... I even had the iso with SP1 already in the download but my key is only for non SP1.. My hard-drive is old though over 4 years.. I had like 300+gb of stuff I thought I lost but I backed it up, I really dont want to get Win 8 other then that it works like before...
But I will probably have to though am getting a new computer in a month or so with an SSD and win 8 will probably be the best chose because Microsoft will not sale win 7 keys anymore

well yeah the SP1 one stuff I'm sure, its a genuine copy and all that.. but the slowness and shittiness and firefox happen like minutes after I upgraded to FF23... but it slowed down everything not just my FF... Its not my HD either did a bunch of tests in cmd and defraged, and what not.. I wouldn't mine to do a complete reformat but I'm not smart enough to get all the right drivers or where to look for them... you now for the sound card the internet, etc.... It is funny though after the install I put my key in and it didn't work.. I had to do that call in thing where you have to tell them like a bunch of numbers and then they give you numbers to put in.. It said it was genuine.. I do really need another new computer... its been a great machine got it in 09 for like 1600 the card had just came out...
2.7 i5
8gb ram

played over 2000 + hours of gaming and lol the time on gaf and the net...<3
for next gen I will definitely need a new card.. only had to replace one back cooler fan.. the gpu fan is still kicking knock on wood. I got the machine on Ibuypower.com with win 7 already installed

My forum tabs on NeoGAF are blurry in FF, but not Chrome.
Anyone know what's up with this?

Try 'Refresh Skipping Cache' Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows.
No dice. Would just clearing my cache possible help?

It's all I use for web browsing on my Nexus 7. Startup time can be a bit slow, though. I do know they're working on that. I'm using the beta, btw.

yeah, i've been talking up Firefox Android for a while now, it's great!
Yeah, I was shocked at how well it handled a few gifs. Along with sync, it doesn't get much better. Well done, Mozilla!It's all I use for web browsing on my Nexus 7. Startup time can be a bit slow, though. I do know they're working on that. I'm using the beta, btw.

How does sync work? I never bothered to set it up.
It can get much better on phones. It has improved, but it's still slow as hell to fully load, and it eats RAM leading to it randomly closing (my phone is only 1GB, though), especially with extensions.
That said, I need my "awesome bar", extensions and Sync (since I use Fx everywhere else), so I use it anyway.

It works as intended (add-on syncing is obviously limited). BUT if you're gonna store passwords (regardless of Sync), make sure to always set up the master password on whichever Firefox you're using: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-master-password-protect-stored-logins

what's the point of having a password if you don't require it?

Mozilla launches Get Australis: invites everyone to install the latest Firefox Australis version
Here it is on my computer. Which is Chrome? Which is Firefox?:

I can't believe they waited so long to make Australis available. Hope it does release in a few months.
The one with prettier toolbar is Firefox
EDIT: Ok, I've installed Australis and add-on bar has to return. All the icons I had in add-on bar were either moved to the main toolbar (3 additional icons) or were removed. Add-on bar was fine because it was pretty small and non-intrusive and yet you could put a shitton of icons there. There's no such place on toolbar for that - any additional icon will decrease the size of your searchbox and url bar. At least Mozilla should provide a place where you could hide all those add-on icons under one expanding menu.
EDIT2: I'm stupid. It seems you can place add-on icons in the option menu. It looks ugly there though, since most add-on icons are small and are resized for the panel.

New booksmark sidebar in the beta looks ugly, and moving the x button all the way to the right on the new find bar was also a stupid change.

The wording in this article is confusing. Are they considering lengthening or shortening the release cycle?

Lengthening. Instead of a new version coming out every six weeks, it would be every nine weeks.
Does anyone have a problem with scrolling? Since a bit earlier today, scrolling with the mouse wheel or the trackpad (MBA, so two-finger gesture) has randomly stopped working for me...
If I reboot Firefox it starts working again, but pretty quickly it does it again. Can't scroll anymore unless I click & drag the actual scroll button on the right side é_è
edit: After some testing, it looks like it happens when I want to use either the page forward or the page back gesture. The gesture doesn't work and after that no scrolling (not even with the USB mouse I have next to the Mac), no gesture. But only in Firefox, everything else is good.

You can restore the old behavior using this addon:

I have a whole bunch of add-ons just to restore functionality the devs took away.
I'm getting choppy scrolling and page becomes distored.Turning off hardware accelaration fixed it.
Nice surprise with 26 and aac/mp3/h264 playback.I didn't realize that was coming so soon.

Anyone else using FireGesture and the last update completely borked it? The right click menu kept appearing after each gesture which caused tabs to close/go back to a previous page in rapid succession.
[exaggeration]It is literally impossible to browse without gestures,[/exaggeration] had to switch to another plugin.

I've just updated it to 1.7.14 and using FF 25.0 I have (thankfully) no problems with the add-on.
It's not an exaggeration. Very often, when I'm using someone else's computer, I find myself trying to use gestures to go back, refresh page, unclose tab or go to the top of the page. And then I'm frustrated that I have to use... buttons and menus like some kind of caveman. *shudders*

I probably asked this before but I recently rebooted my computer and did a clean install. However I noticed that some sites load awfully and become hard to navigate and lose function.
Sites ask to install the Flash plugin but when I tried this happens.
I can't even download the Windows Security Essential Antivirus because Microsoft site also loads badly. What can I do?
Don't worry if you can't see the pictures, they aren't any because Imgur doesn't work with the outdated flash plug in.
Edit: Managed to get pics up.

That's not it. What does CSS? This problem affects all three different browsers.
